BR Standard Class 4 MT 80078 has left the railway for its winter travels but will be returning for next year's running season.

80078 has now departed to first join the Swanage Railway for service on their Christmas services and will then undergo a period of maintenance away from the Mid-Norfolk Railway, following a very busy busy season including daily service during the Flying Scotsman visit.

I enjoyed reading about the progress of BR Standard 4MT 80078! The level of dedication in restoration is inspiring. Do you think it will eventually run on special events? It reminds me of the precision needed in "geometry dash subzero," where every detail counts for success.

It's clear the locomotive is a beloved and hardworking part of the Mid-Norfolk Railway. Knowing it will be back for next year's running season is great news for enthusiasts.
